    #008 Whitney Loibner

    Padre sits down with Whitney Loibner. She is one of his closest friends, a wife, mom, travel planner, and someone who would much rather shine a light on everyone else instead of herself. She shares stories of growing up, building a life and family with her husband Peter, raising two amazing boys, and the friendships and experiences that shaped her along the way. What starts as a conversation with someone hesitant to talk about herself slowly turns into an honest look at resilience, loyalty, friendship, and the quiet strength that often goes unnoticed by the people carrying it. This conversation is a reminder that some of the strongest people we know are also the ones least likely to tell their own story. “We can all do hard things.” This is a public episode.

    #002 Larry Eaton

    Padre sits down with his Dad, Larry ‘Pop’ Eaton. He is a quiet and steady presence whose story spans 78 years. We walk through his life from the beginning. Being born in a house in Lequire, OK to becoming a Marine and being sent to Vietnam. Then transitioning to a career in public service as a Park Ranger, and then to the Postal Service. This was a conversation that reminded me how important it is to take the time to hear these stories, even when they’re not easy to tell. Because sometimes the quiet stories are the ones we’re most grateful we didn’t miss. “Be nice. And Go Hogs!” This is a public episode.

    #000 Intro to A Pour with Padre

    In this short intro episode, I share the heart behind A Pour with Padre. As a Chaplain, I’ve often heard a person’s life summarized in just a few paragraphs. Every life is so much bigger than that. This podcast is about taking the time to hear those stories now. Before the conversations begin, I wanted to give a little context on why this podcast exists and what you can expect from the episodes ahead. This is a public episode.
